Stafford School Board Seeks Increased State Funding
The Stafford School Board has unanimously approved a legislative wish list, primarily focusing on requesting more state funding for education and seeking additional revenue through taxes.
The board is asking the General Assembly to provide more funds to pay employees, citing competition with Northern Virginia localities that offer higher salaries. These localities receive a "cost of competing adjustment" (COCA), resulting in higher state funding.
- The School Board is requesting 100% of the COCA, currently receiving only 25% due to its proximity to Northern Virginia.
- The board also seeks the ability to impose a 1-percent sales tax for school construction.
